However, I think employees owe loyalty to those higher in the chain of command. If an issue is in dispute the honorable thing to do is to seek proper recourse through available channels. Using your husband (speculation on my part) is not proper in my view. Using the media is not proper in my view. When I have had major disputes with my superiors in employment situations , I went up the ladder or resigned.
